Risk Assessments and Method Statements Training

If you write risk assessments and method statements this course is an essential part of the understanding the process and enabling staff to prepare sensible compliant paperwork

Overview:
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 state that you must control the risks in your workplace via risk assessment. It is a legal requirement to carry out risk assessments and if you have five or more employees these must be written. You must identify what might cause harm to people, who is likely to be harmed and decide whether you are taking reasonable steps to prevent that harm.
A method statement is not a legal requirement but is a very useful way of recording the hazards involved in a specific task and communicating the risks and precautions required to all those involved in the work.

Who should attend:
All management, supervisors, foremen and personnel who use or have to prepare risk assessments and method statements.
